Eagles vs Chiefs/Broncos Preview/Recap

The Eagles had a disappointing  loss on last Thursday night against the Chiefs in what was more of a 2012 type game then a 2013 Chip Kelly offensive one. The game was a disaster from the start with 2 costly turnovers and the offense just could not get anything going. I feel like Vick was the best player on offense the first two games but in the third, he was simply holding them back. Like he said in his press conference he was second guessing himself on his reads and tried to do too much, as he has normally since playing for the Eagles. The defense was very solid and stopped the run early and made Alex Smith uncomfortable.....do I really have to say word for word what happened in this game? Did you not watch it? I am pretty sure if you didn't then you wouldn't be reading it so lets get into a delicious week 4 match up of two offensive power houses in the NFL. There has already been some trash talk going on....well not really trash talk per say but Peyton Manning came out after his Monday night impressive performance saying how the Eagles have a unfair advantage with 12 days to prepare compared to the Broncos 6. I don't want to hear it #18 you are 3-0 and are the clear cut favorite in this game. Chip Kelly came out and said "We will play in the parking lot if we have to" saying it kinda chippy (No pun intended)....cheesy well perhaps but I don't give a hoot. Lesean McCoy said if he was a betting man, he would put his cash flow on the Eagles. This is actually going to be close people. On the NFLExperts Wager show I predicted 90 points to be scored in this game combined. Both are fast paced offenses but honestly, we need to control the pace of the game and keep Peyton Manning off of the field. Yes, Chip Kelly wants to prove that this offense can work in the NFL and building a foundation around is key, but with how good this Broncos offense is, I just don't see the need to rush the game. I predict an Eagles victory..... that's right I said it, and if you don't like it you can't take it up with my be-hind. I'm out.
